Elise highlighted the key benefits of the ICS videos are "the educational opportunities, even if this is a case you deal with a lot. Or it may be a new surgery to you. To look at a video, on how someone else does that surgery, provides an insight into different ways of doing these procedures. Even if your not in surgical field, watching these videos of cases ,that affect your patients and their complications, can be educational. As well as providing a deeper knowledge for the professional care of your patient."

Adrian Wagg highlighted that he felt his first ICS meeting “really helped deepen his understand of his field, as well as the opportunity to meet and converse with the authors of papers that he had been reading. To gain an understanding of this information. The ICS meeting is always welcoming and providing a collegiality to members and delegates.”
